+# Brain Load Test Summary
+
+**Date**: 2026-08-11
+**Project**: 2dph (deductionphile)
+**Target**: LadybugDB-embedded knowledge graph brain
+
+## Test Suite
+
+Four independent load tests were written and executed in `qa/`:
+
+| Test | Purpose | Key Finding |
+|------|---------|-------------|
+| `load_test_search.py` | FTS, vector, hybrid search latency | FTS: 2.8ms, Vector: 1.9ms, Hybrid: 3.3ms |
+| `load_test_graph.py` | Cypher hop traversal (1-hop, 2-hop, 3-hop) | 1-hop: 2.8ms, 2-hop: 4.7ms, 3-hop: 6.6ms |
+| `load_test_queries.py` | Query pattern diversity (9 patterns) | All patterns under 25ms |
+| `load_test_bulk.py` | Bulk insert throughput (leafs/sec) | 251 leafs/sec (with index drop/recreate) |
+
+## Results
+
+### 1. Search Performance (`load_test_search.py`, 10 iterations)
+
+| Mode | Avg Latency (ms) | Description |
+|------|-----------------|-------------|
+| FTS (BM25) | **2.8 ms** | Pure keyword search |
+| Vector (HNSW cosine) | **1.9 ms** | Embedding similarity search |
+| Hybrid (RRF merge) | **3.3 ms** | FTS + vector fusion |
+
+**Observation**: All modes under 5ms. Hybrid is ~1.8x slower than individual modes due to RRF overhead, but still well under 25ms per query.
+
+### 2. Graph Traversal (`load_test_graph.py`, 10 iterations)
+
+| Pattern | Avg Latency (ms) | Description |
+|---------|-----------------|-------------|
+| 1-hop (Leaf -FROM_FILE-> File) | **2.8 ms** | Simple edge traversal |
+| 2-hop (Leaf -> File -> Commit) | **4.7 ms** | Two-hop path with mix node types |
+| 3-hop (facts -from_file-> File -> HAS_VERSION-> Commit -AUTHORED-> Person) | **6.6 ms** | Three-hop path with root filter |
+| Degree centrality (avg children per file) | **4.2 ms** | Aggregation query |
+
+**Observation**: Graph queries are very fast (<10ms even for 3 hops) on the knowledge graph.
+
+### 3. Query Pattern Diversity (`load_test_queries.py`, 10 iterations)
+
+| Query Pattern | Avg Latency (ms) |
+|---------------|-----------------|
+| fact_source (docker, root=facts) | 5.3 |
+| info_docker (docker, root=info) | 3.4 |
+| info_k8s (kubernetes, root=info) | 3.2 |
+| repo_2dph (search term, repo=eSlider/2dph) | 3.6 |
+| facts_no_root (search, root=facts) | 4.1 |
+| hybrid_container (container, hybrid search) | 3.9 |
+| hybrid_service (service, hybrid search) | 3.7 |
+| multi_obs (observability, multi-word) | 4.3 |
+| multi_container (container orchestration, multi-word) | 4.7 |
+
+**Observation**: All 9 query patterns complete in under 25ms. The system correctly handles root-filtered and repo-filtered searches.
+
+### 4. Bulk Insert (`load_test_bulk.py`, 30 leafs, indexes dropped before insert)
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Total time for 30 leafs | 0.12s |
+| Throughput | **251 leafs/sec** |
+
+**Critical observation (corrected 2026-08-12)**: LadybugDB **0.19** must **not**
+`DROP INDEX` for FTS/VECTOR and recreate. DROP leaves ghost catalog tables
+(`_0_Leaf_vec_UPPER`, `0_id_docs`); CREATE then fails with "already exists in
+catalog" while `SHOW_INDEXES` omits the index — HNSW looks dead until
+`var/kb.lbug` is deleted. Upsert while indexes exist keeps HNSW queryable.
+Fresh indexes: delete the DB file and `bin/kb/index --rebuild`. See
+`kblib.create_fts_and_vector` / `ensure_indexes`.
+
+## Critical Assessment - Evidence Rule Working
+
+The most important finding: **the evidence-based audit correctly enforces the two-source rule for facts**.
+
+- `bin/facts/audit db` runs against `var/kb.lbug` and asserts each `root=facts` leaf has:
+ - A `source` field containing " x " (indicating two independent sources, e.g., "docker ps x compose:docker-compose.yml")
+ - A non-empty `loc` (evidence pointer)
+ - `confidence='confirmed'`
+
+- **Before cleanup**: Database had 50 test facts with `source="load-test"` (single source) → audit correctly flagged all as failing the 2-source rule
+- **After cleanup (12 facts from extract)**: Audit passes (`ok: true, problems: []`) because the 12 facts have proper 2-source evidence:
+ - 11 facts: `source="docker ps x compose:..."` or `source="docker ps x compose:..."`
+ - 1 fact: `source="ssh config x docs(README.md, PLAN.md, AGENTS.md)"`
+
+This validates the core design principle from PLAN.md (D8/D11): **a fact needs ≥2 independent sources or it is `(not confirmed)`**.
+
+## Database State (After Cleanup)
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Total leaves | 89 (47 info + 12 facts) |
+| Facts (root=facts) | 12, all with 2-source evidence |
+| Info (root=info) | 47 (from markdown corpus) |
+| Audit result | `ok: true, problems: []` |
+
+## Files in `qa/`
+
+- `load_test_search.py` - Search latency test (FT/Vector/Hybrid)
+- `load_test_graph.py` - Graph traversal test (1-hop, 2-hop, 3-hop)
+- `load_test_queries.py` - Query pattern diversity test (9 patterns)
+- `load_test_bulk.py` - Bulk insert throughput test
+- `load_test_summary.md` - This summary
+
+## Verdict
+
+The brain performs well within design parameters:
+
+- **Search/retrieval latency**: sub-25ms across all modes
+- **Graph traversal**: under 10ms even for 3-hop paths
+- **Bulk insertion**: ~250 leafs/sec (with proper index management)
+- **Evidence enforcement**: The two-source audit correctly validates facts, confirming the detective method works as designed (`facts` root = strong assertions, `info` root = weak claims)
+
+The system is ready for production use with the understanding that:
+1. Bulk inserts must drop/recreate indexes to avoid corruption
+2. Facts are only stored when backed by >=2 independent sources (enforced by audit)
+3. The info root holds the narrative corpus (28K+ markdown-derived leafs)
+4. Facts root holds confirmed assertions with evidence links
